NAEP data are not bad, just misused?

Interesting article in EdWeek about how data collected on the National Assessment of Educational Progress are important in that they provide for the ability to make comparisons of kids across states, districts, and schools for reading and math. It's just that people with agendas keep misinterpreting what the data actually mean to conform with their own agendas. How many articles have you read lamenting that 69% of 4th grade English language learners performed at a "below basic" level on the NAEP reading as a call to action? The differences between states on how a student is classified as ELL are so erratic that these types of comparisons (not mentioned in the article) are yet another way NAEP data are exploited and misused on a regular basis.
